Re: [802SEC] Draft press release for review - IEEE 802.3 1 Twisted Pair 100 Mbit/s Ethernet Study Group

David,

I agree with Geoff on this point, and try as I may, trying to expand this in this paragraph is very challenging.  Other thoughts include –

 

Additional Change #1

 

Additionally, the IEEE P802.3br™ Interspersing Express Traffic Task Force developed a draft  is developing a standard that will provides hardware support for IEEE 802.1™ Audio/Video Bridging and Time Sensitive Networks to ensure that high-priority traffic is delivered predictably and with low-jitter.

 

Additional Change #2

 

Many users, premium and volume vehicle manufactures, and their suppliers, desire an IEEE 802.3 standards-based interoperable solutions in order to enable and extend a multi-vendor supplied eco-system for the automotive industry.

Not all While some automotive sub-systems require a 1 Gb/s Ethernet connection., sSmaller, less powerful Electronic Control Units (ECUs) may only be able (or need) to support a 100 Mb/s Ethernet connection., enabling the use of  

A reduced data rate will allow for lower-performance, more economical twisted pair wiring. to be used. As a result, automotive vendors are looking for an IEEE standardized, interoperable solution at 100 Mb/s speeds.

David-

 

I see a need for one change.

Specifically, the following text is incorrect:

==============================================

"...today announced the formation of the IEEE 802.3

Single Twisted Pair 100 Mb/s Ethernet Study Group to explore

the market opportunities and needs for multiple Ethernet speeds

in automotive networking."

==============================================

The above statement exceeds the scope of the Study Group

that is, it is the scope of the group to explore [blah, blah]

for exactly one additional speed and a specific speed at that.

 

Therefore, I believe that the text should read:

==============================================

"...today announced the formation of the IEEE 802.3

Single Twisted Pair 100 Mb/s Ethernet Study Group to explore

the market opportunities and needs for a 100 Mb/s speed for

Ethernet in automotive networking."

==============================================

Also, I believe that the new group would have every right to move forward were the existing 1000BASE-T1 group somehow fail or get delayed.

Thus, it is not "multiple" speed in that the project's existence depends in any way on there being another speed around for automotive networking.

(Yes, this is splitting hairs, no, I do not expect this to happen.)

 

Best regards,

Dear EC members,

Based on the approval of the formation of the IEEE 802.3 1 Twisted Pair 100 Mbit/s Ethernet Study Group at the IEEE 802 March 2014 plenary meeting I have arranged for the development of the attached press release. Since the development of this press release was at the request of the Study Group Chair and myself I'm seeking EC approval. Based on this I would like to request review before proceeding to an email ballot, therefore please provide comments on the attached draft by Monday 12th May, 2014 11:59PM AOE.

Thanks and best regards,
 David
